Unrivaled women's basketball league valuation and roster

Overview

The Unrivaled professional 3x3 women’s basketball league has reached an estimated valuation of $650 million following an oversubscribed Series C funding round. Led by Ten Pillars Sports Fund, the investment exceeded the league’s $100 million target and includes participation from investors such as Bessemer Venture Partners, Ashton Kutcher, Carmelo Anthony, Trae Young, and Alex Morgan’s Trybe Ventures.

Co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, the Miami-based organization provides players with six-figure salaries and an equity stake valued at approximately $200 million. This equity model makes players the largest shareholder group within the league; notably, the player equity pool has grown by more than 550% since its inception.

Following successful sellout events in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the league plans to expand its footprint, playing in four times as many cities during its upcoming third season. The organization also intends to move to a larger venue in its Miami hub as it prepares for its January 8 season start. The initial roster includes high-profile athletes such as Paige Bueckers, who has signed a multi-year contract, and Cameron Brink, alongside confirmed participants including Natasha Cloud, Courtney Williams, Chelsea Gray, Marina Mabrey, Shakira Austin, Dearica Hamby, Skylar Diggins, Aliyah Boston, Ezi Magbegor, Rhyne Howard, Lexie Hull, Rickea Jackson, Tiffany Hayes, and Natisha Hiedeman.
